Reengineering involves various changes to a product, from superficial ones to complete reconstruction, revision of the source code, etc.

As it is complex reengineering tasks that Y-NODE Software specialists are asked to do most of the time, each requiring an approach of its own, all reengineering requests that Y-NODE Software handles are first carefully reviewed to select the best suited specialist team to carry out tasks involved in the best possible way.

Some typical scenarios of assistance we provide to our customers in reengineering are as follows:

Perfomance boosting

The first stage sees the system put under thorough testing to identify possible bottlenecks, characteristic of the system as a whole, or its individual components. Based on the testing results, Y-NODE Software engineers review the source code and data processing algorithms, looking to further optimize them and remove any existing errors. The highest level of skills characteristic of our specialists has gained us a record of impressive results in enhancing performance of applications.

Code migration

Performing the migration of an application over to a new technology or platform is always a task in its own right, as there do not exist yet universal methods or tools that would allow to do it without some manual intervention. To minimize costs, Y-NODE Software begins the migration process from reviewing the code. This allows us to identify sections in the code that can be converted using ready solutions, thus reducing costs and time. Conversion is followed by thorough testing of the ‘new’ product to ensure none of its former functionality has been affected in the process.

Architecture and functionality

If your product has a well thought out architecture it can dramatically reduce further development costs as it continues to evolve. Furthermore, heavy duty web apps with a well designed architecture are cheaper to run. Upgrading an existing architecture begins from finding and rooting out weaknesses. All corrections to the architecture are made in such a way so as to ensure that neither the current functionality of the application, nor that expected to be in place later suffer in the least.

Troubleshooting

Probable scenario: You have an application full of bugs but the developers are unable to correct them, or simply are out of your reach. Asked to troubleshoot it, Y-NODE Software would subject the product to thorough testing and proper documenting all bugs it can find. This done, the company engineers would trace back the causes of the bugs and eliminate them.
